of uncertain origin; Thaddaeus, one of the Apostles:--Thaddaeus.
Thaddaeus = "large hearted, courageous"
- one of the twelve apostles. From a comparison with the catalogue of apostles in Lk 6:16, and Acts 1:13, is seems that Judas, Lebbaeus and Thaddaeus were the same person, and the writer of the book of Jude.
